Greetings, Sorry I was unable to send out a trail report last week. If you have Charter email and are using Microsoft Word you know email doesn’t work anymore. I will be using this Gmail address for the foreseeable future. Tom packed Cutler today and Hermes and I did Sibley. We set tracks [...]

Greetings, We did some work on the Sibley trails this afternoon and plan on finishing up tomorrow. The base is good with about 2” of new snow, but there are some rocks and stumps showing through, so if you venture out use caution. Most the trails are pretty good. We have not set any [...]

Greetings, Last weekend’s work day only had 4 volunteers show up but we got quite a bit accomplished. We got everything done except Tie Hack which I may try and finish up in the next couple weeks. I would like to thank the people that helped and Julie Davidson for having the Learning Outdoors [...]

Greetings, I just got back from grooming. I did not do anything at Cutler as there was about 1” of new snow. I pulled the Ginzu around all of Sibley except Tie Hack and Blue Creek Loop I did set track on the meadow. It was cloudy and snowing lightly when I left [...]

Greetings, Tim from Camp Bethel reported at 10:00 am today they have 15” of new snow. The low tonight is supposed to be around -15F but warming to +16 tomorrow. I am banking on the temps on the mountain to moderate in the early morning as we are going up about 7:00 and knock [...]
